Woman suffrage.

Rev. Anne II. Shaw. a woman of fine
culture and rare gifts as a public
speaker. will be at the Woman Suffrage
Convention, soon to be held in this
city. Come and hear her.
Rev. Anne II. Shaw, of Boston, gave
her fine lecture on Pioneer Life'' in
Memorial, Wednesday, to large audi
ence. For an hour and half she held
the undivided attention of her hearers,
as she drew graphic pictures of frontier
life in the West. She turned leaf after
leaf of her own experience. Though
brought up in the wilds of Michigan,
she early resolved that she would have
an education. She graduated at the
Boston University School of Theology
and subsequently from the Medical
Department of the same University.
She is, we believe, the only ordained
preacher of her sex in the M. Z. Church.
Her lecture was full of helpful stimu-
lus, especially to the young people,

long range dynamite gun at Fl. Lafay-
cite to-day, in the presence of Secre-

hundred pounds to the square inch.

Misery After Eating

Is avoided by dyspeptics who, guided
by the recorded experience of thousands,
begin and Systematically pursue a
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Persistence in the use of this pure
and hi ghly accredited stomachic, is
the sole and agreeable condition of
the entire removal of the obstinate
forms of dyspepsia, no less than a
temporary fit of Indigestion. In con-
nection with the use of this specific, it
is desirable to avoid articles of food
which individual experience has shown
to be difficult of digestion, by the
stomach sought to be benefited. Each
dyspeptic's past observation of his
digestive capacity should enable him tO
be his own guide and mentor in this
particular, not trusting to any set OF
dietetic rules too general to be suited
to particular cases. Biliousness and
constipation, heartburn, wind upon
the stomach, sour quotations, head
ache and mental dependency, are
among the cOncomitants of dyspepsia
and we put it to flight by the Bitters.
